Persatuan Sains dan Matematik Malaysia
Latar Belakang

Persatuan Sains Matematik Malaysia (PERSAMA) telah
ditubuhkan pada tahun 1970 oleh sekumpulan ahli yang
berminat di Universiti Malaya untuk menggantikan
Persatuan Sains Matematik Malaya yang berkubur yang
sebelum itu telah memberikan khidmat di kedua-dua
negara, Malaya dan Singapura. Pada mulanya Persatuan ini
hanya mempunyai 42 orang ahli, hampir kesemuanya dari
Universiti Malaya. Kini Persatuan mempunyai jumlah ahli
yang sekitar 300 orang yang terdiri daripada ahli akademik
dan guru sekolah seluruh negara tidak termasuk pelajar
dan institusi.

ATM- Association of Teachers of Maths
Membership of ATM is open to students, nursery, infant, primary,
secondary and tertiary teachers, numeracy consultants, overseas
teachers, academics...
ATM speaks for creativity, thought, and the enjoyment of the struggle
in calculation, reasoning and discovery...
The power to learn rests with the learner. Teaching has a subordinate
role. The teacher has a duty to seek out ways to engage the power of
the learner
*ATM offers a wide range of support and professional development
services.* - CPD Continuous Professional Development
*We periodically run courses which are aimed at addressing needs
which the Association identifies. We also run sessions and day
conferences that address issues of importance to members and that
aim to further develop the quality of teaching and learning of
mathematics in primary, secondary and higher education.*

ATM- Association of Teachers of Mathematics
The Association of Teachers of Mathematics was established in 1950
to encourage the development of mathematics education such that it
is more closely related to the needs of the learner. The ATM is
governed by its General Council.
There are about 4 000 members - mainly teachers in primary and
secondary schools. It is a registered charity and all profits from
subscriptions and trading are re-invested into mathematics
education.
The ATM provides opportunities to bring together all concerned with
mathematics education for all age ranges. It supports local branches,
informal support networks, courses and conferences.
The Association of Teachers of Mathematics produces policy
statements and publishes response to National and Government
initiatives. Past statements and responses are archived here.
The ATM has a number of Working Groups whose function is to
examine particular areas of the mathematics education field to
develop policy, resources and action.
To support the teaching and learning of mathematics by:

encouraging increased understanding and enjoyment of
mathematics
encouraging increased understanding of how people learn
mathematics
encouraging the sharing and evaluation of teaching and
learning strategies and practices
promoting the exploration of new ideas and possibilities
initiating and contributing to discussion of and
developments in mathematics education at all levels
